You don't need anything special to play DVD. Have a Pentium2 300MHZ, with a
4Mb on board video card that will do that. You'll need HDCP to get the most
out of Blue Ray. HDMI is the same as DVI-D except it
also has digital audio. both can have, or not, HDCP. DVI-I has both DVI-D
and DVI-A. You can check out all these terms on Wikipedia in much greater
detail than anyone is likely to post here.
